    Does anyone here have or know where to find one of these? Also, would such a map also include other railroad's (Mopac) trackage in it? I'm modeling Carthage in N scale 1956 and I'm having a hard time finding local railroad maps of Carthage for this time period.

    Thanks!

    Someone needs to correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't most of the MP shots in the video (actually a compulation of still images) that Dale Rush is selling through Blair Line taken in and around Carthage. If so, you definately need to get this video.

    That Video is being sold by the railroad club that Dale belongs to. It was taken by Dave Cash. Dave is a longtime model railroader and railfan who lives in Carthage. The video consists of film he has taken all over the 4 state area. I believe it was taken from 8mm film.

    Thanks for the clarification Bob. It can be purchased on the Blair Line website and here s the link to its contents and ordersing info:

    It's entitled "Trains of the Heartland" and the MP segment shows many shots of switching grain dealers and the Frisco interchange in and around Carthage. Most of the video was shot between 1960 and 1990 by the look of the equipment.
